Hi All!
I have been playing at PokerStars for some time, trying to put the recently discovered Short Stack Strategy to work.
However, many limits require a buy-in that is much higher than the calculated SSS buy-in.
For example: playing at a NL 0,01/0,02 table, with 1 and 2cts blinds, SSS would calculate a buy-in of 20BB (= 40 cents). Top-up and Get-out levels are at 30 cents and 50 cents respectively.
However, the required buy-in for this table at PokerStars is 1 dollar (=50BB)!
So I've played SSS with this dollar, got out at 1,10 with 10 cents profit, and topped up when I when back to 0,90.
But this really doesn't work well. Sometimes I go all-in when the charts tell me to, and lose the hand. This is quite natural, as you will not win every played hand. However, the problem is that losing the dollar I went all-in with, eats away many small profits of 10 cents. So my bankroll remains at the same level over time.
I feel that since the required buy-in is so high, the Top-up and Get-out levels should be changed as well, for the SSS to work well at PokerStars.
Does anyone have a clue what I can do to fix this? (Without having to change to another poker site.)
Hope that somebody can help me... ![]()
